Yes good photos, just make sure that one has all the required clothes on with all those reflective surfaces. After all who knows you may want to sell it on the evil place like the poor unfortunate did with his kettle.

Hey hey,

Ive been using the Cornelius popper you mentioned for about a year now, just got back into the whole roasting caper after upgrading my espresso machine. The only thing I would say about it is that the lid has to be down in order for the machine to start heating and spinning. Shouldnt be too hard to bypass this setting by taking the lid off but Im not very experienced with tinkering. It was about 35$ from Myer as you said. Roast time is about 2.5 mins to first crack, 4.5 to second and I stop it at about the 5min mark. I stop it by lifting the lid 2-3 times per roast to stir and loosen up the chaff and so forth. Does about 50g at a time.

Welcome anarchybomb88

That popper of yours sounds to be even faster than mine.
50g in mine will get me to about 5 1/2 minutes
It does 100g in 5 mins.

Im not sure what effect stop/starting will do to a roast but Im sure someone with an opinion will come along soon.

Youll have to post in the "What Coffee Equipment do you all have - Part 2?" thread.
